Sounds like there is updating required in the handbook- but h= ow > do I test whether its actually working or not? Those are the tests to sho= w > it works. Perhaps some more decisive tests should be included? well, you could use hccontrol(8) and try to issue a couple of diagnostic commands, i.e. read_bd_addr, read_local_name, etc. to see if your device responds to those. obexapp from ports (comms/obexapp) is often used to transfer files to/from mobile phones/pdas. rfcomm_pppd(8) and rfcomm_sppd(1) in combination with ppp(8) are often used to create data link, i.e. use mobile phone data connection to connect to the internet. btpand(8) can be used to build ethernet-over-bluetooth lan. bthidd(8) can be used to connect your bluetooth keyboard/mouse to your freebsd pc etc. etc. bluetooth audio is lacking, i might get around to implementing a2dp profile and possibly avrcp profile but no promises. in other word, try to use it and if something does not work - ask and/or implement it :) thanks, max
